#MusicMonday: You - dodie (EP)



I've been lacking on the blogging front recently. And recently I've been quite good at making sure that I have at least got a music Monday to send out into the internet and vanish in amongst the mass.

dodie clark released her new EP on Friday. And after a hectic morning I finally got a moment to listen to it. " 6/10" which has been a favourite of mine for a while was available in a pre-sale so has been getting a lot of listen.  Its just the kind of song that you can really relate to which is something about dodie's song collection there are so many great relatable lyrics which really speak to her fan base.

"In the middle" starts the album on an entirely more upbeat mood that her previous EP the 2016 release "Intertwined".  As a whole this album is livelier the beat more uptempo the lyrics don't lose there depth or meaning and remain as relevant and brilliant.

I was really excited to see some of the songs on this album. "Would you be so kind" has been a firm favourite of mine since it was uploaded on her channel. Be warned it is incredibly catchy and you will find your self humming or singing it days after you've listened to it.

There's not a bad song on the EP, the only one I haven't mentioned yet is "Secret for the mad" which is the slowest song, catering to the mood of the song, but such an important and vital song. dodie who is open online about her struggles with mental health, and a mixed fan base many of whom have there own struggles, this song acts as a great way to describe the struggle and that "it will all make sense again"

Go listen, download and love.
